Chef's Notes:
Blending Tea + Color + Mood

“The flavor of Organic Peppermint evoked a garden, seeing the sunrise while surrounded by fresh herbs and plants. A refreshing experience that I wished to translate into a dish, hence the spheric chocolate bowl that represents an icy blue sun.”

— Olivier Belliard, Executive Chef at St. Regis San Francisco

  7. Add some berries and gold leaves on the berries and a few small mint leaves on the plate.
  8. Place frozen sphere carefully.
  9. When the dish is ready to serve, add warm chocolate peppermint sauce into a creamer and gently pour sauce over the sphere.
  10. The sphere will begin to melt to reveal the berries inside.
  11. Enjoy!

White Chocolate Sphere

  1. Melt 100 grams of white chocolate in bain marie (hot water bath).
  2. Incorporate blueberry purée into melted chocolate.
  3. Temper the chocolate around spherical mold to create half sphere chocolate sphere.
  4. Select fresh berries, place in freezer and set aside for later.

Glacial Peppermint Bark

  1. Temper the white chocolate and incorporate pre-broken pieces of the peppermint candy.
  2. Store bark in freezer.

Blueberry Sponge Cake

  1. Mix blueberry purée with egg whites, egg yolks, sugar and flour until a smooth dough is obtained.
  2. Pass through the sieve and pour into an ISI Gourmet Whip canister.
  3. Charge it with 4 N2O charges and shake after each charge.
  4. Let the canister rest in fridge for at least 2-4 hours.
  5. Prepare paper cup by cutting 3 small slits on base of the cup using scissors (this will allow the vapor to escape).
  6. Spray cup with light coat of nonstick spray to make it easier to release delicate sponge cake once cooked.
  7. Fill about 1/3 of the paper cup with blueberry foam (foam will expand significantly when cooked so do not overfill).
  8. Place filled cup in microwave and cook for 40 seconds at maximum power.
  9. Remove from microwave and let it cool at room temperature.
  10. With help of a small spatula, carefully release sponge cake from paper cup.
  11. Flip the cup and tap top to release sponge cake.

Warm Chocolate Peppermint Sauce

  1. Infuse 3 TEALEAVES Organic Peppermint Whole Leaf Pyramid Teabags into liquid cream.
  2. Melt white chocolate in a separate bain marie.
  3. Once both components are ready, mix together (consistency should be a thick running sauce).
  4. Set aside for the moment in the bain marie.
